On the arena, Zhao Yunlan, dressed in flowing white robes, held a long sword, his gaze sharp and piercing.

He does indeed possess some of the refined and otherworldly air that a sword cultivator should have.

Zhao Yunlan performed well at the last sect conference, and quite a few sect disciples recognized him.

"Isn't this Zhao Yunlan from Xiaoyao Peak?"

"With the sect competition just around the corner, why would he go up to the arena?"

"I remember the last time I saw him, his cultivation level was at the mid-stage of the Refining Spirit realm. With that level of cultivation, he should be able to achieve a good ranking in the sect competition."

"What kind of grudge could make him choose to step into the ring at this time?"

The disciples were buzzing with discussion, extremely curious about Zhao Yunlan's opponent.

Zhao Yunlan stood proudly on the stage with his hands behind his back, his disdainful gaze sweeping over the crowd before finally settling on Chu Luobai.

After a long pause, he spoke loudly.

"Today, I, Zhao Yunlan, step onto the arena not for any other reason than to expose to the entire sect the true face of my so-called Senior Sister of Xiaoyao Peak!"

"Senior Sister Xiaoyaofeng?"

"Could he be talking about Senior Sister Chu Luobai?"

Zhao Yunlan's words instantly stirred up the disciples below once again.

The story of Jiang Yuzhe being punished by the elders and sent to the Cliff of Repentance for talking back during class last time has spread throughout the sect.

Especially after learning that Chu Luobai had been slandered, he went to the elders to plead for Jiang Yuzhe and the others.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Why can't I have such a great senior sister?

Now, another disciple from Xiaoyao Peak has publicly accused Chu Luobai.

With such a wonderful senior sister, what's going on with the group from Xiaoyao Peak?

"Chu Luobai, you secretly practiced evil arts down the mountain just to show off in the sect competition!"

"Today I will put righteousness above family ties and expose her hypocritical true colors!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples surrounding the arena all gasped in shock.

Practicing evil arts is enough to kill a disciple, let alone in a prestigious sect like the Qingyun Sword Sect, or even in a small sect.

Now Zhao Yunlan is openly accusing his senior sister of practicing evil arts.

In an instant, countless eyes were focused on Chu Luobai, who was not far away.

The elder in the arena who was talking to Chu Luobai instantly turned pale.

"Practicing evil arts? Does he think the formations and elders of my Qingyun Sword Sect are just for show?"

"They can get a heretical cultivator to come up the mountain!"

“My junior brother has been cultivating on Xiaoyao Peak for many years. Sometimes he tends to get stuck on things. Elder, please don’t take it to heart.”

Chu Luobai quickly tried to comfort her.

She knew that Elder Zhao Yushi, who was in charge of guarding the arena, had a close relationship with her master.

In his previous life, when demonic cultivators attacked the mountain, Zhao Yushi was among the first elders to confront them.

He is one of the elders with the lowest probability of colluding with demonic cultivators.

"Are you just going to let him run wild here?"

Zhao Yushi frowned, sighing inwardly that his disciples these days were getting bolder and bolder.

If that incident hadn't happened back then, how could the younger generation of the Qingyun Sword Sect have fallen to such a state?

"I'm not being silly. I just think that instead of trying to dispel everyone's doubts one by one, it's better to make an example of someone."

Chu Luobai replied respectfully.

"Killing the chicken to scare the monkey?"

Zhao Yushi looked at Chu Luobai with some doubt, but seeing that the other party's smile remained unchanged and that he showed no sign of guilt, he understood.

"Fine, as an elite disciple, you should have your own set of rules for dealing with things."

"Hurry up and deal with your brainless junior brother, so he won't disturb my peaceful cultivation."

After saying that, Zhao Yushi waved his hand and sat back down in his seat.

"Thank you, elder."

Ye Qiu clasped his hands together, gave Zhao Yushi a slight bow, and then walked towards the arena.

As she walked through the crowd, she could clearly sense the curious, sympathetic, and even gloating glances from those around her.

"Senior sister, I didn't expect things to escalate to this point."

Mu Yurou suddenly appeared out of nowhere, reached out and tugged at Chu Luobai's sleeve, her eyes blurry with tears as she spoke.

"You and your senior brother are both good people, you shouldn't have done this..."

Jiang Yuzhe looked at the self-reproaching Mu Yurou with a pained expression, then looked at Chu Luobai with impatience and reproach in his tone.

"Chu Luobai, we all call you senior sister and want to help you. Do you really have to be so serious?"

"puff."

Before Chu Luobai could speak, Qiu Lin, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

His laughter stood out amidst the deliberately hushed discussions of his disciples, quickly drawing everyone's attention.

After laughing, Qiu Lin wiped away the tears that had welled up in the corners of his eyes.

"Senior Sister Mu and Senior Brother Jiang, you two are too funny. Back on Xiaoyao Peak, you kept asking Senior Sister Chu to explain her own destiny and prove it."

“Now that my senior sister has found a better way, you all say she’s being too serious.”

"So all you guys do all day is talk to help Senior Sister Chu?"

Qiu Lin's words instantly caused a huge uproar among the disciples.

The opportunities a cultivator can obtain may be related to his fate and future development.

If someone were to accidentally reveal a peerless inheritance they have obtained, it could lead to a fierce competition among various parties, potentially resulting in their death.

Therefore, even the sect leader and elders of the Qingyun Sword Sect have no right to inquire about the opportunities their disciples have obtained.

Now, Chu Luobai is being asked by his junior brothers and sisters to reveal his secrets to prove his innocence.

If Mu Yurou's words just now made them feel that Chu Luobai was taking the matter of going to the arena a little too seriously.

Qiu Lin's words now made the disciples of the other peaks find the whole thing particularly ridiculous.

If a mere statement that someone practices evil arts can make someone hand over their opportunity, then the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect might as well stop practicing altogether.

Let's fight with words.

"Fine, it is my fault for failing to teach my disciples properly. Today I will go to the arena and spar with those who doubt me."

"Everyone, please watch carefully, whether I use any evil techniques on the stage."

Chu Luobai reached out and patted Qiu Lin on the shoulder, then winked at him.

She secretly sighed, thinking that Qiu Lin's ability to manipulate people's hearts was probably even stronger than Mu Yurou's.

Zhao Yunlan, standing on the arena, gave a cold smile.

"Hmph, you're still trying to be stubborn even when you're dead."

"At the same level, do you think you can defeat me without using your evil techniques?"

As Chu Luobai slowly walked onto the arena, the disciples all sat up straight.

If Chu Luobai truly cultivated evil arts in order to quickly break through his cultivation level, then at the same cultivation level, it would be impossible for him to defeat Zhao Yunlan without using evil arts at all.

Whether you can defeat them or not is not up to you.

Chu Luobai stepped onto the arena and stood in front of Zhao Yunlan.

The Lingxiao sword vibrated in her hand, emitting a faint sword hum.

It seemed to be urging Chu Luobai to quickly give this brainless idiot in front of him a good beating.

A mountain breeze blew by, causing their robes to flutter loudly.

Chu Luobai's indifferent and carefree expression caused Zhao Yunlan to have a moment of doubt.

Could it be that she really didn't practice any evil arts?

But the next second, the ancient bell outside the arena was rung.

Zhao Yunlan didn't have time to think too much, and he directly attacked Chu Luobai with his long sword in hand!
